About the 8th ANIMAFILM International Animation Festival

Since 2018, ANIMAFILM International Animation Festival has been a global platform celebrating the art of animation and creativity. Bringing together children, young people, and animation professionals, the festival offers both local and international experiences that inspire and connect.

This year, our theme is cats! Blending creativity with compassion, we’re donating a portion of ticket sales to support cats in need. Through animation, we continue to share values of love, kindness, and community.
